Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Well, we were talkin’ about on our way over here tonightThat we’re in, we’re in our country nowThere are three, there are three countries on the, on the planetThat are great to sing in, and they are Scotland, and Ireland, and WalesAnd God bless you
Take the ribbon from your hairShake it loose, let it fallLayin’ soft against my skinLike the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side‘Til the early mornin’ lightAll I’m takin’ is your timeHelp me make it through the night
I don’t care what’s right or wrong (yes, I do)I don’t try to understandLet the devil take tomorrowLord, tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and goneAnd tomorrow’s out of sightAnd it’s bad to be aloneHelp me make it through the night(I mean it)
Help me make it through the nightHelp me make it through the night
